Singer/actress Jamie Lynn Spears loves the holidays because she gets to put all her focus on taking care of her young daughter. Britney Spears’ younger sister is mum to a six-year-old, and after spending most of her year working on her music career, the former Zoey 101 star cherishes the time she gets to spend with her family over the holidays.
She says, "I’m a mom, so holidays are kind of a time where I get to say, 'Look, it’s time for me to reboot and just be a mom', and focus on that. It’s an important time right now, especially with my daughter being so young. The holidays are a really important time."
Spears, who wed longtime boyfriend Jamie Watson earlier this year (14), admits that while it’s difficult to get her large family all in one place for Christmas, there’s one constant tradition they can always count on - food.
She adds, "My family is all over the place, so as long as we can get us all in one city, that’s kind of a big deal for us. I think it all revolves around food. It’s all about that. That’s our tradition. Bring the food, and you’ll see the Spears clan runnin’!"

A felony arrest warrant has been issued for rapper Lil Twist over an alleged assault on former child star Christopher Massey earlier this month (Nov14). Zoey 101 star Massey was treated for minor injuries on 7 November (14) after an alleged bust-up with Twist and a group of pals at Massey's apartment in Los Angeles.
The former Nickelodeon star claimed he was assaulted and had his phone and wallet stolen during the incident, and now an arrest warrant has been issued for Twist, for home invasion and robbery, according to TMZ.com.
Editors at the website report the warrant has been issued but no charges have yet been filed.

Los Angeles police have launched an investigation into allegations rapper Lil Twist was involved in an alleged assault on former child star Christopher Massey over the weekend (07-09Nov14). The Zoey 101 star required hospital treatment for minor injuries on Friday (07Nov14) after reportedly clashing with Justin Bieber's best friend and a group of pals following an argument at the apartment Massey shares with his brother, That's So Raven actor Kyle Massey.
Reports suggest Twist and his crew also attempted to humiliate the 24 year old by pulling down his pants.
Authorities were called in to investigate the incident, which the family of the former Nickelodeon actor claims was a robbery and assault.
A statement released by the Masseys reads: "We want everyone to know that Christopher is fine and he was defending himself after Twist and four unknown suspects broke into Kyle & Christopher's penthouse and robbed and assaulted him.
"Christopher is doing well and did get medical attention as reported, but has no physical concerns especially with the severity of the altercation.
"The police are still looking for the four accomplices. We plan to legally pursue this to the full extent of the law."
Lil Twist, real name Christopher Moore, has yet to comment on the accusations.
It's not the rapper's first brush with the law - he was arrested and charged with a series of traffic offences, including driving under the influence (DUI), last year (13), but the DUI count was dropped in July (14). He was reportedly ticketed for the other offences, including speeding, failing to stop at a red light and possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.

Vampire 101: Class is in Session
If you can't catch Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, Sami Gayle and Dominic Sherwood from Vampire Academy at their Comic Con panel in New York on October 11 at 11AM ET, fear not: MTV will be featuring interviews and set visits online. Unless you've been locked in a coffin, you already know the movie version of Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy is slated to open on Valentine's Day, 2014. The tale follows vampire/human hybrid Rose Hathaway and her classmates through the intricacies of Romanian vamp escoterica. It's like Buffy, but way more sophisticated. It is, after all, a boarding school.
For Vampires with Taste
If you're on the West Coast, why not duck out for a romantic evening at The Vampire Lounge and Tasting Room? There are some whites —for you wimps — but the reds are worth sharpening your teeth for. You will definitely make an impression on your date.
Three's the Charm
But if you're stuck any place in between, Encore has scheduled a mini vamp triple-header on Saturday Oct. 12: Van Helsing airs at 5:45 PM ET, Blade at 8 PM ET, and the crown jewel in that franchise, Blade: Trinity, airs at at 10 PM ET. Van Helsing is fine to watch while you're making dinner, but the coolest is definitely the last one. It's funny, imaginative and sick, and has something compelling the other two don't: Ryan Reynolds hotness.

The premise for Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy book series reads like the ultimate young adult fiction Mad Libs. In the book, a vampire named Rose Hathaway is forced to return to her magical boarding school. There, her friendships are put to the test thanks to a blossoming romance and the rise of a great evil. YAF 101.
As routine as Vampire Academy may seem, Mead's novels have an ardent following. The casting of up-and-comer Zoey Deutch (Beautiful Creatures) in the upcoming film adaptation by Mark Waters (Mean Girls) left the passionate fanbase in a tizzy, and the next big name to join the project will surely stir up controversy as only these types of movies can do. Oblivion star Olga Kurylenko will star alongside Deutch as Headmistress Ellen Kirova, the Dumbledore to Vampire Academy's Harry Potter. In the books, Rose describes her as being "a vulture." Kurylenko can certainly go there, personality wise.
Is Vampire Academy headed on track to actually become the next Twilight or Harry Potter, or is the series destined to the fate of romance-infused franchise hopefuls like Beautiful Creatures? Kurylenko has blockbuster credits to her name, but she's not a dramatic standout in the vein of the Potter ensemble. This could be a role that continues her climb to stardom… if the role fits.
Come, members of Fanpire Academy. Weigh in on Kurylenko and tell us why Vampire Academy is the series that's going to break the mold as Hollywood continues to translate popular books to the big screen.

Victoria Justice has vowed to discover the identity of a thief who stole her phone as personal photographs from the device have appeared online. Snaps featuring the former child star, who rose to fame on Nickelodeon TV shows Zoey 101 and Victorious, wearing a revealing bathing suit hit the web on Thursday (11Apr13), and Justice has now addressed the images, insisting they were taken from her cell phone.
In a series of posts on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "My phone was stolen & some1 (someone) leaked this. Wasn't meant 2 (sic) be 'sexy', I took it as a joke cuz (because) I look like an 80s aerobics instructor.
"Hacking & stealing is not cool. Respect peoples (sic) personal property... I would never post a picture of myself like that. I'm not taking this lightly & I will find out who stole my private property."

The Zoey 101 star's probation officer urged lawmakers to send the actor straight to jail, claiming he allegedly failed a drug test and ignored terms of his probation, related to a drug arrest back in 2012.
But a judge in the case has dismissed the charges, according to TMZ.com, after Underwood showed proof he's clean and sober and living up to the terms of his probation.
He is still on probation for another four months.

The former star of Nickelodeon's popular Zoey 101 series was picked up by police outside Cloud 9 - the venue he co-owns in Port St. Lucie, Florida - on 7 November (12).
It came just months after the 22-year-old actor was arrested in April (12) on suspicion of cannabis possession and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 12 months probation.
TMZ.com reports that Underwood failed a drugs test and had not completed a substance abuse program - and he has now pleaded not guilty to violating his probation.

The actor was detained by cops at his house in Port St. Lucie in April (12) after they executed a search warrant and allegedly found him in possession of marijuana and with a 17-year-old girl in his bedroom.
The 22-year-old actor has now struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded no contest to charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to TMZ.com.
